Abstract
Abstract Violence prevention education can be effectively implemented in inner city neighborhoods by targeting many sites within the community. The Violence Prevention Project (VPP) of Boston sought, in its initial stage (1987–1989) to engage community organizations, such as schools, churches, YMCAs, and criminal youth programs as permanent change agents in the field of violence prevention. After the first year of the project, participation by community organizations was lower than anticipated. Some barriers and some catalysts to effective participation by these organizations were identified that may be useful for other community-based violence prevention projects.
